Example 1. Faulty installation:
Seawater entering the engine is the most common cause
of damage to combustion engines in boats (both to
propulsion and generator engines). The entry of water
must be avoided under all conditions. Be aware that the
conditions in blue water sailing can be extreme. Refer to
the installation manual for instructions but remember these
are for guidance only as many factors influence the
installation of a generator. The ultimate responsibility will
always be with the owner to ensure a safe and compliant
installation. If in doubt ask!
